this country, it il true that snarchy

Legal ar other restraint, How true it
f. thst extremes meet Here, we
have that degree OF liberty which Is
oul, license 10y another name, while
in Russia they have Tint degree OF
enforced law which is but tyranny
Of the rankest s0rt-yc, from these
widely differing and apparently en-
lrcly discordant influences, we have
exactly the same re-ult-anarchy.
Here there il -omc;hing to set the
MASSES thinking. something to put
patriots to ciuherir4 on problems
which may or may not enclose the
real germ Of 81. urity for the masses
The one man dospotism OF Russia is
found too severe, ANA the desperation
OF the citilen drives him into rebel .
lion against AL forms OF law or sCclsl
restraint. Here we have so liul2 law
that the bascr and more selfish pas
siOns OF men find free scope, aud they
are restrained by 10 fear Of consc-
quenccs, either present or remote.
Here license SO nearly approximate
liberty that only an expert can sepa-
rate them In Russia the despOtism
IL so dense that what seems to be lHw
is oiteucr the bloody tyranny Of the
unrcstraincd hateful passions Of one
man. The Russian nihllist differs III
no particular from his b:otber an-
archist in Chicago, though the one is
moved BY an influence different fro IN
the other, and AZ widely separated as
are their local habitstions, and rs
dissimilar as are their surroundings.
Now here is as pretty problem in

Neither has the God OF order justice

ed that all the desrer interests OF man
kind shall be turned over into the
keeping of the bowling mob unre-

We can and do say right here, that of
the two despotisms that of one man
or the mob, like Fischer, we say give
- the one man article
But it has not come to
this yet. There is better way, aud
hank God it is reasonable, feasible
and within the reach OF our republic
1t is this: We must strengthen the
arm of law, obey it to the letter and
force all Others to obey it. Ii is only
This respect for law which produces
security. We must adopt such policy

cal freedom, but tte license. When
